[edit] Wyatt Earp sequence

It would be good to have some sources about the Dodge City sequence being considered one of John Ford's best. Actually, I just saw the movie, read some reviews, and find this claim quite debatable. While the sequence does have its merits, it is completely unrelated to the rest of the pictures and provides a drastic change in tone which can prove annoying, as it is a comedy sequence inserted in an otherwise deadly earnest picture. Just imagine you're watching "Lethal Weapon" and then being forced to watch 20 minutes of "The Naked Gun" in the midst of it ! I can pretty much understand why it was cut from many prints, as it can be seen as distracting and harmful to the film's pacing and quite frankly, I would have liked to see it erased from MY copy. So I guess a reliable online source would be useful to back that statement. Wedineinheck 10:07, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Novel

This movie is actually based on a novel by the same name, by Mari Sandoz. She has a pretty extensive Wikipedia article, but none for the book. CClio333 (talk) 18:51, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
